Even though it was Rylie’s birthday, I still had to work a full day 🙁 But Aaron and my mom (who is in town for Rylie’s birthday & birthday party) met me for lunch at the McWane Center (where we got an annual family pass last year for Rylie’s birthday). It was an hour well […]

making caramel apples
Every Thursday night, we get together with Aaron’s family for what I called “Tribe Night.” We try to do more than just eat dinner and talk, but sometimes we’re all exhausted from the week so it doesn’t happen. So when Michelle texted our group text asking what apples we wanted because we were making caramel […]
shaver farms
Today (October 12th), is National Farmers Day and since my father-in-law has tapped into the farming industry this past year, I feel a special pull to make a shout out. 🙂 What started out as a dozen chickens has turned into countless chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, a cow, a donkey (both the cow and donkey […]
matt & shaver visitors
Quite a few of Rick & Michelle’s family were able to come into town for Amberyln’s wedding, which was sweet because some of them I hadn’t seen in a couple of years. Amidst the wedding festivities, Aaron and I did get to spend some time with them but the little ones got way more time […]
ryan + amberlyn’s wedding
I am so happy to say that as of right now, my sister-in-law, Amberlyn and her new husband, Ryan, are on their honeymoon getting some well-deserved quality time and rest after a gorgeous wedding. Like most weddings do, it started with the rehearsal dinner. Rehearsing the wedding in and of itself was pretty quick and effortless, […]
recreate women’s conference 2018
I absolutely love our church’s women’s conference! Every year I hear from God, am prompted to do something / make a change and I refer to what I learned all year long. It’s incredible and I love every single moment of it. I registered later than most so all the locations in my area were […]
amberlyn’s bachelorette party
Friday (8.31.18) night was Amberlyn’s, my sister-in-law, bachelorette party. I went over to her future house immediately after work to help get the place decorated and get ready for our fun but simple evening out celebrating this gorgeous bride-to-be. Our first stop was Perry’s, a delicious but pricey restaurant – perfect for celebrating a major […]
6 hours at the lake
Aaron’s uncle + cousins came into town late last week to visit for a few days (7.18-22.18). They did quite a few things while I was at work, but on Saturday (7.21.18) everyone voted to go to the lake. Aaron and I got the girls up and packed to leave early so we could get a […]
lake day + sparklers
Since Aaron and I were feeling much better after our illness over the weekend, on the 4th of July we decided to go to the lake. Rick & Michelle came with us, but they were not feeling well, so their participation was minimal. Rylie hadn’t been to the lake since August last year when she was […]
father’s day 2018
First, let me say I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day! I hope you enjoyed celebrating your earthly father &/or saying an extra “thank you” to your heavenly Father. Our morning started with Aaron off to church to serve in the Clubhouse (preschool age kids) and I took my time getting ready for […]
